Well Hello There……

Oh my Oh my. I can’t believe it’s been 8 months since my last blog entry. I’ve made a promise to myself to get back to posting. I know it is my one release that I actually enjoy. And lets face it, everyone needs a stress reliever in their life, right???

I’ll try not to make this too long but lets play catch up, shall we??? Last post I was in my 3rd trimester of pregnancy. A pregnancy that came on the heels of my cancer treatment. Well naturally our son came on our very first snowstorm of the year in January. However, we were safe and sound in the hospital, completely oblivious to the world outside. Our little guy is perfect in every way. We are truly blessed with an amazing child. Everyday is a new adventure watching him grow. And believe it or not, he just turned 6 months old this week. My how time really flies!!

Last Friday I saw my oncologist for my quarterly check in. All of my blood work came back fantastic!!! Next week I will have my first Mammo since finding out I was prego last year. Of course I’m not looking forward to being squished and pressed like a Belgian waffle, but hey, its what I get to look forward to for quite some time.

I’ve definitely been struggling with the “What ifs” of cancer and reoccurrence. Especially now that I have this little miracle to look at everyday. I’m sure these feeling are totally normal but some days they really take over my brain. I also struggle with just being back to work. After all the struggle and fight we’ve endured over the last 3 years, now I have to leave my baby for work each day. I am definitely jealous of my stay at home mommy friends. I know it is one tough job they have. Sometimes I just wish I had more time with my little man. He’s already growing too fast. So all I can do is make the most out of my time with him and hope one day he knows that if I could, I would spend every second of everyday with him.
